Who says love is only for the young? That is the question posed by retired Stroud journalist Carole Taylor in her latest book, published this week.
Living Life Backwards is the second book of a trilogy focusing on women who faced unmarried motherhood and adoption in the 1960s.
Continuing the story of lifelong friends Juliet and June – known as the Two Js – this is the sequel to Perfectly Imperfect: The story of The Two Js. It picks up their story fifty years on when Juliet’s adopted daughter decides to search for her birth father.
Living Life Backwards showcases the enduring power of friendship and is a reminder that love is an ageless and rejuvenating gift.
“This book is a hymn to passion in later life and is dedicated to those who fall in love in their seventies and beyond,” said Carole.
Carole, who now lives in Gloucester, worked on a number of Gloucestershire newspapers during her fifty-year career in journalism. The author picture for Living Life Backwards was taken by Gloucestershire photographer Paul Nicholls.
